Metal Roof Installation on Twin Oaks Dr, La Vernia TX 78121

At this Twin Oaks Dr project in La Vernia, we combined this durable metal roof with high-output VSUN solar panels — giving the homeowner clean energy and lower electric bills. It’s part of my promise to bring smart, modern roofing to folks across Wilson County and nearby.

Here’s what we did for this homeowner:

• Removed the old roof down to the decking
• Inspected, replaced, and sealed decking where needed
• Installed new underlayment for moisture control

• Added 430 ft of drip edge along eaves and rakes
